Summary: memoryview('test') is causing a segfault

Initial Comment:
./python -c "memoryview('test')"
Segmentation fault

I compiled Python 3.0 with 
$ ./configure --with-pydebug --enable-unicode=ucs4
and 
$ make EXTRA_CFLAGS="-DPy_REF_DEBUG -DPy_TRACE_REFS -DPy_DEBUG"

I've used gdb to trace the segfault:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Committed revision 57193.  This problem was due to not initializing the
new BufferError properly.  Travis mentioned this in his post to
python-3000.
